What do you do if you are the one who loses trust in him? Let’s look at the times when women are tempted to lose trust for their otherwise, decent and honorable husband.

What if he has been injured and can’t take care of you the way he used to and you must take care of him? What if he has a serious illness and becomes weak and bedridden? This doesn't mean you can't trust his intentions. You know, if he could, he would handle his usual responsibilities. Life can be hard. Sometimes tragedy strikes and roles are reversed. You may have to take on some responsibilities that are normally his and that you might not even want. True and deep love can weather all these things.

What if he loses his job? You can become closer during hard times if you love and support each other. There is no need for trust to be broken or damaged just because of life challenges. In fact, it’s an opportunity for you to deepen your relationship more than ever if you are a fascinating woman.

Building trust when the relationship is new is much easier than getting it back once it’s lost. When you first meet someone, you tend to extend a degree of trust based on benefit of the doubt or first impressions. You have no reason not to trust him. This new credibility is not deep but is foundational. Deep trust must be established over time; there is no substitute or quick easy way.

Regaining trust may involve sacrifice on your part and finding opportunity through smaller tasks to still admire him for what he can do with limited capability. Applying the timeless principles of Fascinating Womanhood will pull you through tough times. You may even find such challenges lead to a deeper relationship.
